This essentially chronicles the 3 weeks leading up to my own HDTV purchase minus crying in the fetal position during my shower (also known as "my thinking spot.")
@Nathan Obbards: The labyrinth isn't that confusing... except the part where she gets put in a bubble and shows up at a costume party for no apparent reason. What the hell was going on there?
@MarcusMaximus: Well, it's confusing in a different way, like is David Bowie a man or a woman? Is he a pedophile? What is up with those guys pulling body parts off and flying heads? Did I take shrooms or drop acid and didn't know it? Was that beer really that strong? I'm oddly aroused, why? Is that a cucumber in his pants? Does he have nipple antennae to communicate out in space?
While the story is fairly straight forward, it is very confusing.
@MarcusMaximus: Nobody really knows... except Jim Henson. Nevermind the url title; I'm not sending you out to some freaky garbage... if you visit and search [www.sweatpantserection.com], you will find an over-the-top third-party review and commentary from a hilarious girl that had my rollin'. I wanted to post the link directly, but it's fair to say that the url (title) is NSFW and I don't feel like having to explain to the IT department why the "sweatpantserection" website is not what it sounds like. I suggest you all do the same.
I have a dumb phone (KRZR K1) and a smart MP3 player (iPod Touch 1st gen) so... really I'm just fine, haha!
If I need a GPS, I have the Garmin eTrex Legend, and Nuvi 360. Sure, it's more gadgets to lug around, but I save hundreds of dollars before I even get to the insane service contracts we have in Canada...
@92BuickLeSabre: I tried to use a flowchart to learn about women, but when it came to the question "Is sex worth the crazy that comes with them" No was the only arrow leading away from it :(
Giz, your fanboy is showing a little more this week. Zip it up a bit will ya? There are more than 2 smartphones out there. And news about most of them coming just as fast and plentiful as the Pre or iPhone.
@Dr.Jeckyl: Seeing as these are the two exciting phones that the entire industry is paying attention to these two weeks (and even beyond), we have an obligation to cover them. So no, it's not being a "fanboy", it's doing our jobs.
@Jason Chen: Sorry, but I have to disagree. ALL FOUR of the current "featured articles" at the top of the page are about the iPhone; TEN of today's articles alone have the word "iPhone" in the headline, and onlytwo are particularly useful for potential buyers, in my opinion. Most of the rest are just shameless fluff.
Personally, I'd rather you guys cut out some of the crap (amusing though it can be) and reported on a greater variety of topics with useful, cool articles... like I know you'reof.
...But I'm pretty sure that you're about to tell me to just go back to Lifehacker, where the posts are half as frequent and twice as useful.
@DevourerKwi: Nope, I'm going to tell you to just skip over these posts, and we'll get back to our normal amount of coverage soon, when the heat from these devices die down.

I feel like I just watched Labyrinth again, only more confusing and with less acid.

Nah, I don't usually carry a GPS. The phone's on a belt clip, and the iPod shares a front pocket with my DS Lite. :)

Looks like they listened to the customers. Or "whiners," if you're Giz.
